The Kirana Jakarta by City Vision event held in the capital of Indonesia can become a destination enjoyed by various groups of people from all over Indonesia for free.”
The philosophy behind the name "Kirana Jakarta by City Vision" has a meaning that expresses the beauty and uniqueness of this performance, in line with the meaning of the word "Kirana" in Sanskrit which means a figure whose light is beautiful and graceful. The city of Jakarta is adorned with a harmony of tall building lights, street lights, and light emitted from OOH media scattered in every corner of Jakarta owned by City Vision. Kirana Jakarta by City Vision will feature unforgettable performances and create unparalleled beauty.
Kirana Jakarta by City Vision will present a world-class light show featuring 500 drones, water mist effects with 4 screens made of water, and 3D video mapping that will be shown on The Plaza building. Not only that, icons, typical Indonesian and Jakarta motifs, and livestreams will be shown through OOH media located at the LED Bundaran HI Digital Network. This concept reflects City Vision's determination to elevate Jakarta as a global city through magnificent visual arts that are comparable to global cities such as New York City, Singapore, and others.
In the Kirana Jakarta by City Vision activity, City Vision is collaborating with the Jakarta Provincial Government, especially the Jakarta Provincial Tourism and Creative Economy Office, as well as strategic partners to present this world-class New Year's celebration. Partners include leading vendors for world-renowned water mist effects and video mapping vendors that have been used in ASEAN shows in Jakarta.
Andhika Permata, Head of the Jakarta Tourism and Creative Economy Office (Disparekraf), stated, “In order to celebrate the approaching 2024 New Year's Eve, Kirana Jakarta by City Vision will be a historic moment in advancing the city of Jakarta. This event is not just entertainment, but also an expression of the city's modern creativity and identity. With the presence of City Vision as a partner, we believe Kirana Jakarta by City Vision will enrich the New Year's Eve celebration experience for Jakarta residents and become a beautiful mark in building a dynamic and creative city image. Not only that, the Jakarta Provincial Government will also launch its newest icon, namely Je (Ondel-Ondel) Ka (Macan Kemayoran) Te (Api Tugu Monas). This Jakarta icon is the result of a youth competition throughout Indonesia. The hope is that with Kirana Jakarta by City Vision being part of the Malam Muda Mudi event, it can provide a spectacular New Year's Eve experience that competes with global-scale celebrations.”

Not only presenting a series of spectacular New Year's performances, Kirana Jakarta by City Vision can become a symbol of progress for a more positive Indonesia. Moving together to realize renewal and better change that is full of optimism. Kirana Jakarta by City Vision is not only for residents of the capital city, but we also invite people from various regions to come and celebrate the night towards 2024,” concluded Juliana Kumala.
